dc.description.abstractThe study evaluates contractors’ compliance level to quality standards in the construction of infrastructural services in Lagos State. The implications of non-compliance, the processes and criteria used in the awarding of contract were also examined. A total of 47 respondents currently engaged in the construction of infrastructural services were selected for the study using stratified random sampling technique. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics. The survey carried out indicated that most contractors in Lagos do not comply with quality standards during the construction of infrastructural services. Factors such as clarity and buildability of project design, criteria adopted in awarding contracts, materials and skilled labour availability were identified as factors affecting compliance to quality standards. Processes and criteria of awarding contracts such as due process, quota system, relationship, political power and compensation were identified to have affected compliance level to quality standards. It was deduced that non-compliance to quality standard leads to cost overrun, untimely project delivery and poor infrastructural services. This study concludes that with effective enforcement of quality standards at every phase of projects, contractors will achieve a significant improvement on their job delivery. The study recommends that all stakeholders in the industry must understand and comply with quality standards at all times.en_US
